Chapter 43 About the Monitor
Meet in this situation.

Wang Heng was also quite embarrassed. After all, he had reminded many times that freshmen were not allowed to smoke, especially during the new training period.

As a result, he, the class monitor who took the lead, was caught by the new students in the class hiding in the toilet to smoke.

At this time, the right hand holding the cigarette naturally moved backwards.

Chen Jun calmed down.

He didn't expect to meet Wang Heng here. When he came out of the dormitory just now, he didn't even raise his head to see if the person on the upper bunk was there.

Seeing the unnatural look on the squad leader's face, he looked at the handful of cigarette butts in front of his squatting position. There were five or six cigarette butts.

Chen Jun pretended to walk to the urinal naturally, turned around, and said half-jokingly: "Don't worry, squad leader, I won't tell anyone about your secret smoking."

Hearing this, Wang Heng's right hand froze and he nodded silently.

Now that he was discovered, he adhered to the principle of not wasting, put the almost burned out cigarette into his mouth, took a sharp sip, and threw the cigarette butt into the toilet with a snap of his fingers.

Then he swept all the cigarette butts in front of him into the pit with his feet.

But the person still squatted there and didn't move.

When Chen Jun put on his pants, he turned around and saw that Wang Heng was still where he was.

I don’t know what’s going on, but Wang Heng doesn’t feel as domineering as he did during the day.

Instead, there is an illusion of loneliness.

If the squad leader didn't leave, Chen Jun couldn't go back directly. He asked casually: "Squad monitor, is there anything bothering you?"

Chen Jun originally thought of asking him casually. Regardless of Wang Heng's temper, he could at most wave him and tell him to go back to sleep.

He just got off the donkey and went back to sleep.

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that my question was not very good. Isn't the monitor's troublesome thing because he contradicted the other party today, and also won the physical competition?

The squad leader was probably worried about this incident, so he came to the bathroom to smoke in the middle of the night feeling depressed.

After thinking about this, Chen Jun suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

What he didn't expect was that when he asked, Wang Heng, who was squatting there, sighed.

Not only did he not let him go back, but he said quietly: "I was admitted to Xijing Border Defense Academy in 09, you know, right?"

"Yeah, I know." Chen Jun nodded.

It's not difficult to guess. The monitor is a junior this year and will be a senior when school starts. You can figure it out by extrapolating the time.

He knew that he couldn't leave at this moment. After all, the first thing he said was when was the past year. This was obviously talking about the past, so he simply squatted by the urinal and listened quietly.

As a result, Wang Heng just said this, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and handed one to Chen Jun. After being rejected, he lit one himself.

Smoke rose, and after a while, he continued to speak.

"At that time, there were not so many new students in the Lu Academy, and the district team did not change as much as it did after the enrollment expansion this year."

"At that time, one district team was in charge of three classes. I was in class six, and my class monitor was elected as the district captain."

"The squad leader's name is Cao Yang. It may be because he was chosen as the district captain. He wants face and results."

"Cao Yang has very strict requirements for the freshmen in his class."

As if remembering the past, Wang Heng's face turned a little gloomy.

Chen Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. From the perspective of a veteran, he had already guessed what happened.

In 09, whether it was in the army or military academies, there were many examples of beatings, scoldings, severe punishments, and harsh treatment to train new recruits.

Even now, there has not been much improvement. He remembered that he truly implemented the principles of scientific training and safety training, and completely changed his appearance. That was all after 2018.

Of course, before that, the situation was getting better year by year.

"Then what?" Chen Jun asked.

"Then?" Wang Heng smiled bitterly.

"Then it was because I was weak at the time. In fact, even though my hometown was poor, I really didn't do much farm work when I was a child."

"My academic performance has been good since I was a child. My parents pampered me and they wouldn't let me do anything except chew books."

"As a result, when I arrived at Luyuan, I became the freshman with the worst physical fitness in the class."

"I'm not afraid of jokes. Tonight I said that I just entered Lu Yuan's 3,000-meter run and ran under 12 minutes. It was actually to protect my face. If I really have such a result, I won't be targeted later."

"The squad leader, who was so proud at that time, didn't like me everywhere. On the first day I went there, he threw all the dry food I brought from my hometown into the toilet."

"That's the pancake that my mother worked so hard to prepare for me." Wang Heng said with a self-deprecating smile.

"I didn't know at the time that I couldn't bring so many irrelevant things when I came to the Lu Academy to report."

"When the new training started, my physical fitness was so poor that I was dragging down the whole class. I was often punished and not allowed to eat because of extra training."

"Even when the class was doing an overall test, their grades were lower than those of Class 5, and they were picked up to run at night to practice formation."

"I remember Cao Yang's favorite saying at that time was that during the Long March, the older generation of soldiers endured so much hardship. You can't bear this little punishment and you are not worthy of being a soldier."

"Here, let me show you." Wang Heng stood up suddenly, pulled open his vest, and showed Chen Jun a scar on his arm that was thicker and longer than his thumb.

"This was when I was practicing push-ups. I had no strength and couldn't get up. My squad leader kicked me with his foot. He probably didn't mean it. There was a sharp stone stuck under the sole of his leather shoe."

"It took five or six consecutive kicks until the skin and flesh were rotten, and then I felt the pain."

Seeing the scar, Chen Jun looked obviously startled.

He could guess that Wang Heng's squad leader was too strict at the time, but he didn't expect that it would go so far.

After five or six kicks, Wang Heng was completely exhausted and felt no pain. Could it be that the kicker didn't notice it at all?
Chen Jun felt a little confused. He finally understood why Wang Heng became like this.

In the new training experience that year, the squad leader named Cao Yang was indeed a bastard. There is nothing to say about it.

Wang Heng was not wrong at that time, and it can even be said that Cao Yang was not wrong either.

What is wrong is only the times and the perception. Even now, this kind of harsh punishment is still prevalent.

After listening to the squad leader's story, Chen Jun didn't know where to comfort him for a moment.

I had no choice but to get up and walk to Wang Heng, squat down, and ponder for a moment. I wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but it was not appropriate.

He simply sighed and said, "Squad leader, I can understand what you're going through."

"But this approach, which is almost bullying, should not be allowed to continue from generation to generation."

"We must try our best to preserve the good inheritance, and just throw away the dross."

"Otherwise, what's the difference between us and the army of the Bangzi Country next door?"

"You can't tear up our umbrellas just because you've been caught in the rain."

"Umbrella? What umbrella?" Wang Heng heard Chen Jun's consolation and looked up at him blankly.

"Nothing, just a joke, squad leader, what I mean is, if you continue Cao Yang's training method, then in the end, maybe the new students in our class will become the same as you were back then."

"Including me, He Jing, Yang Fan, Shen Congjun, Gao Mingming, and Liang Kui."

"Monitor, have you ever heard of the story of a boy who slays a dragon and turns into a dragon?"

Wang Heng was stunned for a moment when Chen Jun mentioned the names of people in the class.

Take a long breath.

"Actually, what you said, Squad Leader Chu of Class 2 also said it to me tonight."

"In Class 6 back then, Chu Hongfei was in the same class as me, but he had the best physical fitness and received the least special care."

"Fortunately, you are only competing with me tonight for physical fitness. If you meet Chu Hongfei, you will be in trouble."

Wang Heng smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed in a rare moment.

Hearing the squad leader's joke, Chen Jun gave him a surprised look.

To be able to take the initiative to talk about tonight's physical competition means that he must have figured out what happened back then.

"Monitor, I still want to explain what happened tonight."

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Wang Heng didn't wait for Chen Jun to finish, he stood up with a smile and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Originally, I came to the bathroom tonight to reflect. I will know how to be a monitor in the future."

"Let's go back. It's so late at night. Let's go to bed first."

Seeing Wang Heng relieved, Chen Jun nodded.

The two were just about to go back to the dormitory together.

Outside the toilet, suddenly the light of two flashlights shone directly in.
